Buckets full of fun!

Hey everyone!

Welcome back for another

I am sorry I didn't get to share this with you all yesterday. It's been a little bit crazy lately! I wanted to share with you some buckets I got recently on clearance at Kmart. I bought 3 buckets similar to these:

They were leftover from Easter at Kmart.Only three buckets were left so I bought them all. I purchased two tall ones for 40 cents and a size smaller for 30 cents! I purchased two cans of black spray paint for 97 cents each and for under $4 I will have three buckets that are just the color I want to go in my new scrapbook room! YAY!!!

I love shopping clearance. I look at everything in a whole new way now that I know how to alter items to make them just the way I want them to be. My mom will spray paint the buckets for me. I have never tried and I don't want to mess them up. I may try it with her help but we will see. What thrifty items have you purchased recently?

Hugs, 

First Thrifty Thursday Share

Hey everyone!

As promised, here is today's post on



I really love getting a bargain! I shop around for the best deals I can find. My mom taught me that
a bargain is not really a bargain unless the item being purchased is truly something I need. So
when I was shopping for a new purse at Kmart the other day I knew I scored big with my
purchases. Here is one of them:

This messenger bag is Dickies brand. It is a really fun design with all of the circles and it is made really well.

The front flap has this deep pocket that zips closed.

This is a great place for a cell phone or calculator. It has a velcro closure.

 There is another pocket on the front flap. It also zips closed which keeps everything secure.

 Once the flap is lifted up there are more pockets and places to store things.

This pocket is pretty deep but there is no closure on it.

There is another zipper inside.

As you can see it will hold quite a bit of stuff! My daughter has it jam packed full! The bag retails for $24.99 according to the tag but I bought it for only $4 on clearance! I love that! I saved $20.99!
